Is it possible your banner machine is the early Standard B that had the banner? Hello Glenn, You are correct. If the crank is threaded it is a B. All A's have the slotted cranks. That is how you tell an A from a B. The ICS machines all have the speed control above the bedplate. If you have an ICS B or C it will have the speed control above the bedplate with the threaded crank. Steve
